Do me a favor? If you want to "talk" to someone, the only way to be sure that they get the message is by hitting the "Reply" button on the message that you want to comment on. It is the little box in the top-right of each comment. It looks like two little arrows: ">>" If you hit that, it sends a notification to the person who made the original comment, letting them know you are trying to have a conversation with them. I'm glad that I stopped back, or I would not have gotten your message!

As soon as the site Story Approvers approve it, then the story is immediately available to anyone you wish to show it too. You can show it to anyone you want when you Publish it (which comes before Submitting) but you'll have to give them the URL. The Story Approvers generally take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. Best of luck with your story!

Hey, thank you. I appreciate the offer. I think i more or less got it figured out, been crunching out my first ever fan fic since earlier today, using the scientific method to figure it all out lol. How long does it typically take once you submit a fic to be able to link ppl to it?

Thanks,
Sir_Pinky
